Coming up Second Chances

Image
From what is reported online, Talia al Ghul figures prominently into finding out who Prometheus really is.  I am thinking  we can rule out Adrian Chase,  since all that went down with Prometheus  and Arrow occurred while Adrian helped save John  Diggle from General who is trying to kill him. Did Talia give that information to Prometheus? Part of me wishes it would be Malcom Merlin, because it would be good to see him go down, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none. Second  Chances  promises to be an interesting episode, and we will be back in Russia. Apparently Oliver needs Talia to help bring down Kovar, but she  wants something in return and Oliver isn't sure he can deliver.  What are your  guesses?

Arrow 510 Review Who Are You? Part 2

Image
Sometimes it takes me a while to digest the whole of a show; especially if the show is one that has many different themes or ideas.  Arrow, on its very best show, has different sometimes, for me anyway, hidden themes.  So I have some  added  thoughts on Episode 10, Who Are You?" The use of green: In literature green often symbolizes harmony, and peace. Green often symbolizes growth.  We had lots of green in this episode.  We saw Oliver and Felicity together  within a green background or setting.  As the season progresses we will see more of this color.  Oliver and Felicity have grown apart and now they have begun again to grow together.  We will see more of Susan, but the writers are working toward the growth of Oliver and Felicity.  Look how he protected her in the picture above.  He shielded her. The use of Red:  In literature red can symbolize passion.  Felicity wore more red in the episode.  This could have duel meanings.  Of course there are those who hope it symboliz

Arrow Review: Who Are You? Episode 10

What an exciting episode that Arrow gave us last evening. Katie Cassidy plays a better villain as the Black Siren than she ever did as the Black Canary.  She can be a great actress when she has the right role. My time is limited today so I am going to state the things that popped out at me on this episode. I loved the way  the  writers turned the table so to speak and we had light Oliver and dark Felicity.  Oliver spoke some memorable lines.  When he told Laurel to face the darkness he said, "Circumstances can be poison or nectar..." There was so much truth in  that for all of us.  Oliver knows both the poison and the nectar, and his desire to help Earth 2 Laurel overcome the darkness was so nice to see. I loved Felicity's interaction with Laurel.  Felicity sees right through her and right away tests her.  First she offers Laurel water and drink and Laurel almost chose the drink, something "our" Laurel would never have done, and then she takes the glass

Oliver and Felicity back in Russia

Image
 Remember when Oliver and Felicity went to Russia?They are going again! I understand that around the 15th  episode we shall find them in Russia.   It was in Russia that Oliver realized that he loved Felicity, and I always thought it was there he realized that Felicity loved him.  I am looking forward to this episode.  Also Anatoly is to be in this episode, and his character is lots of fun.  I also understand that Susan will be in the episode as well. Are you excited for Arrow's return Wednesday?  I am looking forward to 5b.

Arrow Action Scenes

Arrow has some pretty amazing action scenes over its four and half seasons. Below are some of my favorites.  What are yours? Okay, this may not be the action you  were thinking of but Oliver doing the Salmon Ladder has to top my list. That's incredible action, right?  Oliver finally defeating Ras Al Ghul is on my list.     His training on the island with  Slade Wilson  was  good too.  We needed to see how this playboy billionaire who seemed rather lazy and shiftless turned into a warrior on Lian Yu.   Oliver tireless hunted down every name on the list in season one. There are so many incredible action sequences in Arrow. Kudos to the directors of those scenes. Arrow has more than one dynamic and dimension. Stephen Amell brings out the man facets of the character he portrays.  Like the actors of the past, he can express much with just his face and eyes.  Often he reminds of Ronald Coleman. I love old movies, and if you ever get a chance watch Random Harvest. In the last sc

Arrow Season 2 Episode 14 "Time of Death" Review

                             Since we have four more days to wait for Arrow's return, I thought I would watch one of my favorite episodes again. Thank you, Netflix!  I chose this one for several reasons.  Felicity is so darn cute in it, and Emily Bett Rickards has such good timing in delivering her lines.  I liked it because of Diggle.  He supports Olicity, and he cares about Felicity.  I liked it because Oliver has some excellent moments as well.  I also liked  it because in this episode, Sara first realizes that Felicity loves Oliver.                   So, let's begin! In the opening, The Clock King steals technology that can open any vault in Starling City.  Meanwhile back at the lair Oliver, Sara, and Diggle spar in training, and Sara gets hurt.  The three begin discussing their various wounds while Felicity watches, and then she says, "I have scar. It's in my mouth."  Sara answers with "You're so cute".  She was, but Felicity, takes it in
